Clear fees, agreed before we begin
Every project gets a written fee proposal after a free consultation. Each stage has a fixed fee, agreed before it starts, so you know what each stage includes before you pay for it. No hourly billing.

Building it too
Want the group to build it as well?
Most clients appoint us for design, planning and technical drawings and choose their own builder. If you would like the group to build it, Green Code Developers, the Green Code group's construction company, can take your project on site. You decide once the technical drawings are ready; design-only appointments stay available.
- One project lead from your first meeting to handover, so you never have to explain your brief twice.
- Separate, clear contracts. Your design appointment is with F Line Designs and your building contract is with Green Code Developers, so each company's responsibilities, payments and insurance are set out.
- Costs that firm up as the design does. Early figures are estimates. Green Code Developers' quotation is based on the technical drawings and specification, and is fixed in the building contract.
- Handover and aftercare from Green Code Developers once the work is complete.
- Separate charges. Our design fees, the construction price and council or other third-party charges are always shown separately.
